Check out Lars Von Triers DOGVILLE from 2003 for an entirely different take on sets and location

Completely honest I only joined for the iasap reactions and most importantly to get you to *WATCH 30 ROCK*. You will love it. The directing towards the end of season one make for some of the best looking and feeling episodes of fucking any sitcom. The writing is also pretty perfect, and Tina Fey is just always so on top of delivering her lines. She is also exactly what I would be like if I was raised a woman. (I know this is unrelated, this is just the most recent post as of me joining lol)

Mateo Stenberg

which weirdly enough does not have a single shot from the city of paris texas in it. always found that shit funny.

Paris, Texas

Admittedly a stretch for “location”, but how about the stage at Richard Rodgers Theatre in NYC?? The movie is Hamilton (on Disney Plus), recorded over a three day period on Broadway. The stage is made of colonial era scaffolding to represent the foundation of our country. The brick wall at the back of the set grows an additional 8 ft. From act 1 to act 2 because the country is progressing and our foundation is growing. The story is sung through with musical styles ranging from hip-hop, pop, jazz, and more. Absolute genius writing, acting and production.

The seventh seal (1957) Harakiri (1962) two of the best foreign films I’ve ever seen

The Sorcerer (1977) Location; Mexico, Israel, France, US and Colombia (most of the movie). A great movie! And it was totally crushed at the box office by a little movie known as Star Wars. They were released the same weekend. The Sorcerer is interesting in that sense. It's was the blockbuster before blockbusters existed. And the fact that the director william friedkin is crazy and made all the actors do insane stunts for real in that movie. (The same director who made The French Connection).

Saloum (2021)

Kelvin

Have a good time, James! A great Chicago movie is Michael Mann's THIEF (1981)

Ken

hope all is well! house (1977). i know you’ll appreciate this one

Justin Bowers

The Count of Monte Cristo (2002)

Kevin DiSalvo

The Plumber. A sort of thriller about the worst home repair experience ever

Yours truly, Johnny Dollar

I would recommend the animated French film, The Red Turtle (2016). The narrative takes place on a single island and it completely envelopes you with it's sound design and animation. It portrays the nature of the island beautifully

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017)

Underwater Sunlight (Eddy)

Big Trouble in Little China. Who knew that turning down a random alley would land you in the middle of a Chinese funeral-turned bloody brawl ala Braveheart with green-flame summoning super soldiers from Mortal Kombat?

crystal fairy & the magical cactus (2013)

Lily

In The Heights (2021) - Lin Manuel Miranda’s musical love letter to Washington Heights in NYC and filmed almost entirely on location. (This should have gotten West Side Story’s nominations. I will die on this hill.) I’m gonna co-sign Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011), French Dispatch (2021), and God’s Own Country (2018) as listed above.

Kaitlin

Oh man, I didn’t realize A Ghost Story was going to hit hard like that for you too! Take that break and good care of yourself! 😊

Kaitlin

I'd also recommend Superman (1978): Krypton, Smallville, The Fortress of Solitude, Metropolis, Lex's crib. Absolutely amazing!!

Sock Puppet

Since we're keeping with the location theme, I'm going to suggest: Jurassic Park (1993) and Rebel without a Cause (1955)
